Abstract

Through the revision of certain reinterpretations regarding the organization of living spaces and regional mobility systems of some hunter-gatherers, throughout the late Pleistocene in western Europe, as well as of specific new discoveries of movable art --which suggest the continuity of the classical canons of Magdalenian art-- it is argued that: 1) these "transitional" traditions --especially the Azilian-- do not represent the decline of the great Paleolithic civilizations, faced with the environmental crisis that gave rise to the Holocene, but rather that 2) they should be understood as the techno-cultural innovations created to confront it and adapt, which was carried out by 3) preserving an appropriation economy, thus avoiding the need to invent production economies, nor utilizing predatory logic, which exacerbates the negative consequences of climate change. In fine, this example of techno-cultural innovation could provide a source of inspiration for the design of actions to be taken in the face of the environmental crisis of the 21st Century.
